Trailers keep sitting in your yard too long?

Your yard looks like a trailer parking lot. Drivers wait hours to get loaded or unloaded. You're paying detention fees that add up fast. In New York's busy freight corridors along I-95 and I-87, yard delays cost you money and frustrated drivers.

Long trailer dwell times happen when you don't have a system to track, stage, and move trailers efficiently. Without proper yard management, trailers sit randomly throughout your facility. Drivers can't find their assigned trailers. Dock doors stay tied up longer than needed.

Detention fees typically run $50 to $75 per day after the first 48 hours. A facility with 20 trailers sitting an extra two days each week faces $2,000 to $3,000 monthly in avoidable fees. Larger operations near major highways like I-90 and I-81 often see much higher costs.

Start by mapping your current trailer flow and identifying bottlenecks. You need a service that tracks trailer locations in real-time, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates driver arrivals. Gateway Distribution handles trailer pool management so your facility never waits on a driver. Professional yard jockeys move and stage trailers on your schedule.

With organized yard management, trailers move in and out on time. Detention fees drop significantly. Drivers spend less time waiting and more time moving freight. Your facility runs smoother with predictable loading schedules.
